Don't Stand Idly By

Edmund Burke once said, "The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."

Unfortunately, evil in America has triumphed in recent years. Since Roe v. Wade, 4,000 children have been routinely slaughtered every day while millions of Americans stood idly by, too busy to vote or too disenfranchised to care.

While both of these are real concerns, they must not prevent people from answering the needs of the community. Register to vote now because Nov. 2 is the time for good people to finally do something.
